Anglian MPs hear it from The Royal Anglians

Soldiers from the Second Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment invited their local MPs to a briefing session in the House of Coomons during which they relayed their experiences from their recent deployment in Iraq.

General Sir John McColl remarked that the Regiment was a family with its roots deep in its local community "from which came a ready supply of brave young men, together with the moral support necessary to sustain them through difficult times".

MP Malcolm Moss, praising the Regiment's work in Iraq, said: 'We are privileged to have such a dedicated and brave group of men and women serving in our Armed Forces. I am proud of the Royal Anglian Regiment and pleased to note that some of my constituents serve the country as part of this regiment.'
